CISE研究基础设施：复杂物理和计算环境建模该奖项用于创建一个建模和仿真支持设施，为新型计算机体系结构、制造和设计、过程控制、远程操作和医学领域的最终用户应用工作构成至关重要的基础设施；同时也作为机器架构、硬件和软件系统创新的测试平台。建模设施将使用最先进的技术来实现高带宽、低延迟的机器对机器通信，从而显著提高计算效率。在紧密耦合的通信环境中使用多台异构和潜在的专用计算机允许模型构建者探索新的并行仿真方法，这些方法可以大大减少仿真运行时间。这种能力的增加使得全新的关键问题得以解决。现代模拟产生了大量的数据，对这些数据的解释可能不会立即显而易见。因此，Modeling Facility的第二个中心组件是一个大容量存储管理系统。最后，建模设施将配备几个特殊用途的设备，可以利用通信和数据管理设施来解决目前在传统学术计算环境中不可行的大规模问题。

9623614 Thompson, William University of Utah CISE Research Infrastructure: Modeling Complex Physical and Computational Environment This award is for the creation of a Modeling and Simulation Support Facility, constituting vital infrastructure for work on end user applications in novel computer architectures, manufacturing and design, process control, teleoperations, and medicine; while also serving as a testbed for innovations in machine architecture, hardware, and software systems. The Modeling Facility will use state-of-the-art technology to achieve high-bandwidth, low-latency machine-to-machine communications, resulting in significant computational leverage. The use of multiple heterogeneous and potentially specialized computers in a tightly coupled communication environment permits model builders to explore novel parallel simulation methods that can greatly reduce simulation run times. This increase in capability permits entirely new classes of critical problems to be solved. Modern simulations produce large quantities of data, the interpretation of which may not be immediately apparent. Thus, the second central component of the Modeling Facility is a large capacity storage management system. Finally, the Modeling Facility will be equipped with several special purpose devices that can exploit the communications and data management facilities to tackle large-scale problems that are currently infeasible in a traditional academic computing environment.
